French term

est contesté

Non-PRO French to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Rewables, biomass
I'm not sure "challenged" is the right word within this context, for a PPA agreement thanks


Dans ce cas, les Parties doivent faire tout ce qui est raisonnablement possible pour regler le differend a l'amiable dans un delai raisonnable qui ne doit pas depasser soixante (60) jours a compter de la date de l'avis.
Chaque Partie demeure cependant tenue d'acquitter tout montant a l'echeance de vingt et un (21) jours, meme s'il est conteste.
Si, pour une periode de facturation ayant fait l'objet d'une contestation, il est finalement etabli que tout ou partie du montant conteste n'etait pas payable, ce
montant doit etre rembourse plus les inten ts calcules selon la methode decrite ci­ dessus a compter de la date de paiement de la facture.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Wolf Draeger Nov 5, 2012:
@ Nikki Good point. I'd hazard that "contest" may work best when appealing against a decision or law, and "dispute" may be more suitable to a case between civil parties, such as this one.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Nov 4, 2012:
Just come back to this one after having looked into the use of "contester" and "contest" in the official Québec FR and EN versions of the civil code. Whilst terms based on "dispute" sound more natural to my British ears, the official use of transparent terminology may justify its use in a translation. Whichever is used, "dispute" or "contest", it would probably be a good idea to use the same base word throughout.
